Ideal 6260651 Worm Gear Clamp 5/16 to 7/8 Inch

Product Description

The IDEAL 6260651 is a worm gear clamp designed for securing hose and tubing connections in plumbing, HVAC, and general mechanical applications. The clamp spans a clamping range of 5/16 inch minimum to 7/8 inch maximum, making it suited for small-diameter hose and tubing work. Worm gear clamps use a threaded screw band mechanism to apply even radial pressure around the hose or fitting. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general mechanical contractors install this type of clamp where a reliable, adjustable seal is required on flexible hose connections.

This clamp is appropriate for residential and light commercial applications wherever small-diameter flexible hose must be secured to a barbed or spigot fitting. Common installation scenarios include condensate drain lines, coolant hoses, low-pressure water supply connections, and other tubing assemblies that fall within the 5/16 inch to 7/8 inch clamping range. The worm gear design allows for tool-assisted tightening with a standard flathead or hex driver.

Key Features

• Clamping range of 5/16 inch to 7/8 inch suits small-diameter hose and tubing
• Worm gear screw-band mechanism provides even, adjustable radial clamping pressure
• Compatible with standard flathead or nut driver for installation and removal
• Compact form factor for use in tight spaces and restricted access areas

Compatibility

Designed as a standard worm gear hose clamp for flexible hose and tubing with an outside diameter falling within the 5/16 inch to 7/8 inch clamping range, typical of small-bore plumbing, HVAC condensate, and mechanical hose connections.

Installation Notes

Install using a flathead screwdriver or appropriately sized nut driver. Ensure the hose or tubing is fully seated on the fitting before applying the clamp. Do not overtighten, as excessive force can cut into soft hose material and compromise the seal. Follow applicable plumbing or mechanical codes for the specific system being serviced.
